Multiple pets?

[PoisonCoyote]

I finally unlocked the Pet Store and was happy that we can get new pets for our settlements. It seems that you can only have one tag along. Is that right? I'd like to be able to take a few of my cats out with me on scav trips. Does that require a mod to be created for that option?

There are several multiple companion mods.

Unlimited Companion Framework is the one I usually use. Its quite robust but last update was in 2017.
Amazing Follower tweaks is a bit finiky for me but seemed to do the job. I do know some other mods have some conflicts with it. Also Last updated 2019.
I tried Liga of my Companions a year or so ago and it seemed nice. Ive been considering switching to it.

If the pets dont count as companions you can use the Portable Cloning Device to make one that is (When upgraded it can clone the dead). Animals get to be companions this way. You can use this and Beast Master mod to have two companion Deathclaws. Hmm I wonder if a pet Deathclaw would give you three.. :D

Oh another mod is Minka. She is a cat that follows you when you have catfood :D
Kitty is another with no food needed. Also Just a Cat.

Creature Follower lets you summon 25 animals as a companion - including a cat.

Wasteland Pets lets you have kitties.

Thats all I can dig up. Some of them are a bit buggy so I suggest making an alternate save and loading into that with the mod to test it.
